Band Bench Press

The band bench press is a resistance exercise targeting the pectoral muscles using a resistance band. It mimics the traditional bench press but uses bands instead of weights, making it accessible and effective for building chest strength with less equipment.

Step-by-Step Form & Technique

  1. 1.Lie flat on a bench with your feet flat on the ground and your back pressed against the bench.
  2. 2.Grasp the band handles with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  3. 3.Extend your arms fully, pushing the bands away from your chest.
  4. 4.Slowly lower the bands back down to your chest, keeping your elbows at a 90-degree angle.
  5. 5.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
